Know How BJP And Congress Are Hiding Behind The Mistakes They Had Made

There is a new trend that has surfaced in the political discourse of India, which is asphyxiating the quality and substance of political debate in the country. The recent slugfest of the principal parties, the ruling BJP and the Congress over letting Vijay Mallya leave the country brings to fore again the politics of blame game to muzzle any sensible argument and debate to solve the issue. The opposition parties had blamed the government of letting Mallya leave the country to which Jaitley hit back by saying “What about Quattrocchi?”. The ruling party and the opposition party tend to rightly point out mistakes of each other to hold them accountable. But too often they end up taking solace and hiding behind the mistakes and sins of each other. The ruling government could certainly do better to responding with facts and reasons on the questions raised by the opposition parties. That would serve the purpose of keeping people informed with the right information.

Let us go back to the basics

We are a democracy where the primary role of the opposition party is to question and criticize the ruling dispensation while it is a primary responsibility of the ruling government to respond to the civil criticism with accurate answers. Both the ruling government and the opposition together should nurture a healthy environment for informed debate that will inform and empower all citizens. That is a collective responsibility they have to shoulder to mould the collective conscience of the society for the better. All political parties should work on a common code of conduct that nurtures healthy debates. The politics of blame game and disruption should be abandoned for the sake of our democracy. All political parties should stop pandering to their vote base along and speak for the entire population.

Supporters and cadres of political parties are guilty too

Too often political parties are whipping up their cadres, only for different private citizens to enter into a slugfest on social media while the political class sits together for dinner and wine.

The cadres and supporters of political parties should stop defending their political parties, they should realise they are not infallible, they do mistakes and they commit errors in judgement. Instead of defending the supporters and cadres of any political parties should ask the party they support to come clean on any allegations surrounding their party leader or the party itself.

The Logical Indian appeals the political parties to stop making a mockery of the media space, the privilege of being a parliamentarian by indulging in blame games without answering the questions raised by people. We also appeal to the supporters of different political parties to not to vehemently support their parties and create a wedge among the citizens on political lines, instead listen each other and question the party you had voted for. Questioning and supporting the party can co-exist and hence do not hesitate to question your party.

This Mother’s Day, Let Us Make A Real Difference In Our Mother’s Life

“All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.” – Abraham Lincoln

Mothers play a crucial role in our lives. Since we were little, they held our hands, acting as our guide into the world. They took care of all our needs – from teaching us how to hold a spoon, cooking delicious meals for us, dropping us to school and sitting with us while we struggled with our math homework – mothers have been there through thick and thin.

On the special occasion of Mother’s Day, Friends Adult Diapers has a beautiful message for each of us – treat your mother the way she has treated you all her life.

It was our mothers who stayed up all night taking care of us when we fell sick; it was her who help us with our homework. This Mother’s Day, remember to take care and support your mother the way she took care of you all these years.

The minds and bodies of our ageing parents dwindle as they grow even older, and somewhere in the incoherence of understanding their thoughts, children lose patience. They spend less and less time with their parents and hire others to look after them. A study by HelpAge India gives accounts of the elderly, most of whom testify to verbal abuse, neglect and disrespect by their children. Old people rely on their children for both emotional and financial support but, often times are not given the needed care.

There is little difference in how we were as toddlers and how parents are as senior citizens. They couldn’t understand the gibber we uttered then, yet taught us different languages. We were financially dependent on them till at least 18 years of age yet, they never said no to giving us pocket money. Why cannot we echo the same patience our parents showed for so many years?

Our parents have an unconditional love for us. They made sure all our needs are cared for and we never feel alone. When we grow up and our parents enter old age, they require the same care and affection. They would be delighted if we spent time with them after classes or work, make tea or cook for them and also help them with household chores when they have too many things at hand.

It is our responsibility to stand with our parents when they are weak; it is our responsibility to cook for them when they are too tired, and it is our responsibility to take care of them when they fall sick.

Mother’s Day is a celebration in honour of motherhood, a tribute to maternal bonds and the influence of mothers in society. Let us make a real difference by showing how much we truly care for our mothers.

Friends Adult Diapers has taken a wonderful initiative in this regard. The most precious gift for a mother is her child. So why not take this as an opportunity to shower her with the same love? After all, she deserves it for being with you through every obstacle and every hardship that you faced.
